Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 16

The Bennet Group had been falling apart even when the Sullivan Group had bought a considering amount of shares for a larger than expected sum of money.

Of course, this wasn’t because they saw great potential for development in the Bennet Group.

It was all because of Rachel.

The original Rachel.

Her mother, Elisa, had once saved the life of Victor’s grandma and the old lady had been grateful to Elisa and adored her daughter ever since.

When she found out that the Bennet Group was in trouble, Victor’s grandma figured out a way to help out, without even waiting for Rachel to ask.

She had asked her grandson to do anything in his power to save the Bennet Group.

Back then, Rachel and Victor were engaged to be married, not that the match was one full of love.

Normally, he wouldn’t have agreed to lose money over a crumbling company, but he couldn’t deny his grandma anything.

Everyone thought that once the Bennet Group had been bought by a larger company, it would start flourishing and growing.  But the fact remained: the Bennet Group was now under Victor’s control.

The Bennet family had worked tirelessly for three generations for their group, so it really meant a lot to Rachel.

And that gave Victor the upper hand.

He had manipulated Rachel and forced her to sign a prenuptial agreement he had put together, even if it was more than a little unfair towards her.

After the original Rachel had caught on to what had happened, she was inconsolable.

In the present, Rachel pursed her lips and shook her head to get rid of the memory that didn’t even belong to her.She felt a twinge at her heart, the ghost of the pain that the other Rachel had once endured.

The original Rachel had truly loved Victor, more than life itself.

But the new Rachel didn’t.

She didn’t really care about the Bennet Group either.

It could burn to ashes for all she cared.

Only one thing mattered to her.

She had to avenge herself.

Shelia’s fiance and best friend would have to pay dearly for what they had done to her.She put the documents back onto the pile and sighed.

"I see."

Andy seemed genuinely shocked by her calm response.

"Miss Bennet, you… Perhaps if you talked to Mr.Sullivan…"

"No," Rachel cut in, her voice broking no argument.

Talking to Victor? She valued her second chance in life too much for it! She was sure that Victor would send her straight to hell as soon as he laid eyes on her.

Andy decided that trying to persuade her would be futile.

"Miss Bennet, there is one more thing."

"What is it? "

Rachel looked up at him with raised eyebrows.

"The Bennet Group has not been profitable for a long time, so Mr.Sullivan declared that it will be liquidated the same day your divorce becomes official," Andy said slowly.

Liquidated? The same day as the divorce becomes official? Rachel snorted.

"So be it."

"But, Miss Benner, the Bennet Group was passed on to you by your mother.Three generations of the Bennet family…"

"Andy,"

Rachel interrupted him, "I really tried to save the Group, but it is no use.Victor won’t see me, nor will he stop the liquidation for my sake.And turning my one percent shares back to fifteen is impossible.All I want now is a normal life; I want to stop wasting my time and live my life to the fullest."

Andy was stunned by her answer.

When he came back to his senses, Rachel had already left the study. The Bennet Group was falling apart, so Rachel didn’t have to go through that huge pile of documents.
